Mary Weatherholt Again Earns Big Ten Athlete of the Week The Huskers senior from Prairie Village, Kan. won the Big Ten
Women’s Tennis Athlete-of-the-Week honors on Feb. 13 following her
impressive undefeated record (8-0 singles, 6-0 doubles) including
several victories over ranked opponents in both singles and doubles.
This marks the second time that Weatherholt has earned the award this
season thus far, after claiming the honors the week of Jan. 30.
On the Record Hunt Being undefeated on the season with 14-0
combined (8-0 single, 6-0 doubles), Weatherholt jumps to No. 3 on the
Career Combined Wins list in the school's record books with a totaly of
170. She
only needs 12 more combined wins on the season to become the winningest
women’s tennis player in Huskers history (11 to tie record) currently
held by former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 181 total career
combined wins for Nebraska (Weatherholt 156 concluding 2012 and 170
including 2012-13).

Weatherholt, with her 8 singles victories thus far this season, has tied the record for Career Singles wins at 101 currently held by Sandra Noetzel from 1996-2000. With a win Friday or Sunday, she will replace Noetzel at the top spot on in the record books.

Stefanie Weinstein has notched 22 combined victories this season which pushes her into the top five of Career Combined wins (with 157) at the No. 5 spot, formerly held by Katarina Balan with 151 who now is pushed out of the top 5 to No. 6. Eight more wins would see her topple the No. 4 spot which is now held by Imke Reimers at 164 total who was pushed down from third place after being overtaken by Weatherholt this season.

Weinstein also has 10 individual doubles wins this season which bumps her to the No. 2 spot on the school's Career Doubles Individual Wins list at 79. This pushes former No. 2 Imke Reimers 74 to third and former No. 3 Sandra Noetzel's 71 to fourth, Weinstein's former mark. 12 more individual doubles wins would put her tied for first with former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 91, 13 would set the record and peak her at the top of the list.
